Last week ended with us completing the Dungeon of the Dead three. Out of resources, the party dodged the dragon cultists waiting for them at the exit. This next session I expect them to head… Descent into Avernus: PreSession Five
This week’s goal is simple: get the party into the dungeon under the Stairs of Allegiance. Last session ended with the group wrapping up their first real fight and capturing a cultist. A large part… Chronomancer’s Gambit PreSession Four
It’s a low prep week for me. Real life’s got me chewing through the pain, literally. I’m dealing with some molar nonsense that’s made D&D prep take a backseat for the first time in… I… Descent into Avernus: Pre Session Four
The players are free. I’m prepped. I’m also slightly terrified, because I don’t really know what direction they’ll go. I have a lot of things ready, but certainly not the direction they’ll choose. I want… Pre Session Chronomancer’s Gambit: Fog of War

(Massive spoilers below if you’re a player in my game. Seriously, stop reading.) Welcome to Session One of The Chronomancer’s Gambit. Character creation is done. The table is full. Today, the story actually begins. This… Pre-Session 01 Chronomancer’s Gambit: Planning the Heist
Writing these posts still feels weird, but I told myself I’d write a pre and post for every session every week for this campaign (Descent into Avernus) and my homebrew (Chronomancer’s Gambit). If this is… Descent Into Avernus: Pre Session Zero
